Paul Bakes
Firstly as a musician in a couple of local bands then as a DJ, I have been entertaining people since the mid 70's.
Since 1978 I have held a number of residencies and been booked to perform at a number of prestigious venues in the Yorkshire Area.
The 80's
During the 80's I gained the reputation as the DJ to book for your party.
I Have also been fortunate to work along side celeb's such as Dave Lee Travis, Keith Chegwin, & Bernard Manning.
In 1981 l ran a successful Rock disco in the Wakefield area called, The Headbangers Ball.
It was as a result of this, that I was given an opportunity to exercise my talents on Radio Aire in Leeds on a program called First Timers, which ran on a Saturday evening.
It was whilst at Radio Aire that I was given the dubious task of interviewing the Prince of darkness himself Mr Ozzy Osbourne
Although this did not lead to a full time Job in broadcasting the experience was invaluable as l was able to work along side presenters such as Andy Kershaw, James Whale, Alex Lester, & Martin Kelner.
During this period, I secured some pretty good regular Private & Corporate work:
Leeds United AFC, Wakefield Council, British Telecom, West Yorkshire Fire Service, Harewood House Estate. Plus many pub & Club Venues in and around the Wakefield & Leeds Area.
During the early 90's, I decided to hang up my headphones! mainly because people would no longer dance to my Neil Diamond records anymore.
It was in 2002 when purely by chance, I got back into the business, I was asked to step in at the last minute at one of the largest holiday Parks on the East Coast, and now .. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang I was back doing the thing in my life I enjoy the most .. Playing Music.
